I've been having this pain in my chest, specifically on the middle left side, and it's been happening just after I wake up. It only lasts for 1 or 2 minutes, but it comes with an elevated heartbeat, around 90 beats per minute. Should I be worried about this?

I'm really worried about my dad he's just 43 and had a heart attack about a month and a half ago. They did an angioplasty and put in a stent, but now the doctor says one of his heart valves isn't working right and needs replacing. His heart is only working at 30% right now. Is it safe for him to go through a bypass surgery at this point, and if he does, how long can we expect him to live after that?

Atleast for a year any surgeries contraindicated.
